that pretty much is it, these people are weathly, in another video i saw a small child that was talking about her life in north korea, but i knew she was in the kim family

[@goattm2]

Her videos lack one thing. Other people in the background. Almost as if those things are only available to the rich and powerful in government and their families. Also notice how bare those fridges were when she was out "shopping". Dictatorships really do insult our intelligence.

The comments on the offical video ("Yumi Space 1 - Ice Cream") are heavily moderated. They are all positive or neutral at best, nothing negative at all. I expected loads of comments about the near empty fridges, but nothing, not a single comment.

@Justified350 the nuclear arsenal is the only thing protecting them from being invaded. de nuclearizing the dprk is a huge deal for them and it cannot happen.

[@Euphoryaaa]

@Justified350most countries without a nuclear arsenal have usually kowtowed to western capital and imperialism. Any country that dares not to is met with destabilization, coups, and western friendly leaders are put in place. In order for a country having its own self determination, they must be able to defend themselves from western capital

[@mockingladmockery3860]

North Korea. It's clear that they are trying hard to look like their environment is okay when it really is not. North Koreans who have escaped to South Korea are always shocked to witness the vast technological and economic differences.

[@acutepiee]

why her youtube channel gone?

[@SinbathSparrow]

they shut it down. It was censored by KZbin. Several accounts tried to upload some of her videos, but I'm not sure if they are still around

[@surendramumgai631]

KZbin only allows anti north korean propaganda...

[@josejotafernandez9913]

Censored in the "land of the Freedom" (but you are only free if you agree with the US dictatorship)

[@multistan9582]

You know our brain is made in a way which even normal people can see when someone is trying too hard to push through a planned conception they want us to see. I'm not saying that many arn't living a good life in the North but out of all the people there how much is able to??? Think about this... We see just the rich side of few youtubers from the North... In any normal country we would be seeing many youtubers, from all walks of life, showing us different things, not just about how they live in their country, however North Korea is just focus on "look my country is rich and beautiful, nothing bad happens here"... Right😒😒😒...In a country that still does not allow youtube among it's citizens.... Ofcourse this is government propaganda... I want to see the real North Korea... Everyday normal people from all walks of life, the rich, middle, poor.... The beautiful buildings and scenery, the developed... undeveloped, work in progress, what life is really like for everyone, what different views people have, their curiosity about many things, no thinking based off political based thoughts.... Just normal everyday people. North Korea wants to show us they are normal... I know they are, they are people like us too... But their execution of it is weird and zombie like... Its not hard to figure its scripted.... Are we all supposed to believe all North Koreans are rich and have unlimited access to KZbin now??? They need to be more honest, not even with us, but starting with themselves.

exactly. u hit the bullseye right there. no one is stupid. most if not all foreigners know that these videos are farts and unicorns propaganda, just for show in a poorly crafted attempt to make the west think that its a "normal" country with people living "good, prosperous lives", when in fact what is shown is obviously _nothing_ close to how ordinary North Koreans live. in fact it just worsens their reputation because its obvious they are lying and are just trying to "hide" a sinister reality by patch up a leaking fish tank with tape. I agree with everything u said 1000%

Heard of Caleb Maupin and Rainer Shea??? go ahead and learn their stuff on their KZbin Channel

[@KBowWow75]

No place is all good, and no place is all bad. The same goes for NK. There is probably some real aspect of life for some people.

[@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398]

Yes, but when it comes to North Korea, people's common sense and even their sense of being a decent human being goes right out the window!

[@dbuc4671]

North Korea does have some positive aspects, that's true, but the way it operates is an overall net negative compared to like 99% of other countries.

[@Seschal]

Please read the stories told by hundreds of defectors. NK is the most opressive country currently in existence. You have NO idea what you're talking about.

Even the small, relatively wealthy elite in Pyongyang don't have access to the internet. This channel is 100% controlled and scripted by the government. There are no real bloggers or vloggers in North Korea.
